Beat created from different strokes on an electric guitar, which is probably of no suprise. Pretty simple arrangement but a fairly strong melancholy-pop song.

First take guitar part that I just liked the feeling of, which sounds a bit like a haunting version of Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'.

Please someone jam on top of it. 97 Bpm.

That twanging sound at the beginning of the song is me putting my acoustic through an amp with all knobs on 10. Acoustics feedback at 440mhz, which is an A note. The song is in A. It kind of sounds like a high tension electrical wire.

This song went through multiple iterations before coming out like this. It was a great song to play live. Did anyone catch the tip of the hat to "Fire and Rain" at the very end of the song?

This song was written long before it was recorded, though it stayed pretty much the same from day one of its creation until the studio about 4 years later. My favorite part is my guitar riffs near the end. My least favorite part is my crappy singing.

This one is a classic case of "Chasing The Demo". In other words, I am not happy with it. The demo versions had a ton more feel and groove. This one sounds rushed and doesn't do the song justice. Oh well, such is life when you are on a budget…

The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

Probably one of my better gtr riffs/rhythm parts in those days. The song is always borderline going off the tracks...but it was fun to play live.

This one was written after coming home in the harsh light of being out all night after learning someone I knew put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. I write this from his perspective... 'Nuff said.

Totally fake rap-vocals from totally fake indians, you could tell from the cornflakes

I like the atmosphere, but the source is loong gone (ca 1998)

A badly-tuned kalimba, a toy drum and a novelty stapler... Pop genius.

I don't have the source-files for this one, but I think it was made in 2004, probably in the winter

Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007

Again substituting a guitar for a drum kit but this time an acoustic. Structurally, a more straight-forward piece, sounding more like a band than some of the other Ca Va? Oui, Ca Va! songs.
